Analytical Methods
MICROBIAL SOURCE TRACKING METHODS
A wide range of techniques are available in the emerging field of microbial
source tracking (MST) to help identify sources of fecal contamination. Which
methods are chosen for a study depend on the study objectives, the number of
potential contamination sources, and the funds available; most often, multiple
source tracking tools are needed. At the present time, the OWML routinely
analyzes samples by use of three MST techniques, only a small part of the source
tracking toolbox.
